through an opn switch at SCOTS siding, just
above Everson's mills. almost completely
wrecking the train and injured six Of the
passengers and the firemen and engineer.
The latter cannot recover. The improper
turning of the switch seems to have been the
result either of malicionsiiess or gross care

Al the time of the casualty the train was
running at q very moderate rate of speed q

fifty passengers on board.

The first intimation Engineer J. J. Moore
had of anything wrong was when the loco
motive turned from the main track into the
siding. He reversed his lever as quick as
lightning, blew a waring whistle and seized
his dazed firemen, Frank Hughes, and push
ed him from the engine. He did not jump
himself until the snubbing post had been
snapped off and the pilot wheels left the end
of the rails Then he lcaped, but landed too
close to the engine and was fatally burned
by the escaping steam. He also had an arm
and leg broken by flying timbers, and re-
ceived serions internal injuries
The engine shot out into open space for
about thirty feet, and was followed by the
tender, which cut of the cab root, smoksstack
and dome and landed with trucks upward
at least twenty feet ahead of the boiler. The

CONFORMING LAW AND FACT

A bill now before the Indiana Legisla-
ture merits passing notice. 1t provides
that in case of willful homicide, in which
the slayer is the husband, father, or broth
er of a seduced girl or woman, and the
slain has been proven her seducer, action
for murder OF manslaughter shall not lie.
1t reduces the offense of Staying to \ mis-
demeauOr, punishable by fine, without i'm
prisOnment.
An American jury scarcely ever c~OnvictS
a man of murder, who has killed the Sc
ducer of his wife, daughter or sister. The
law proposed above would be in most eases
executed, and the punishment meted out
would be rs great rs ut present. 1t Is bet
ter to have 4 mild law and have it Obeyed,
than a rigid law that is continually DISC
beyed. The time when England'S laws
were almost aS severe as Draco'S, punish
ing petty OtfenseS with death, then was
there the most crime. The puniShments
were regarded by the masses as so sever,
and unjust, that iurie3 could not be found
to convict the accused.
II would be wisdom to mollily the pen
atty attached to the slayer OLA seducer,
and make the punishment greater Tor Sc
duction. There would be justice in this,
and men would have less inclination t.
take the law into their own hands.

all the youths ofthe State such instruction
a. will assist them to become good citizens.
But if the money that should benefit all,
benefits but one hall, there is something
wrong somewhere.
1t will be found that while q great many
OF the children can not attend, there Is no
good reason why the majority should not.
In both town and country there are thou
sands of children within reach of schools,
yet they grow up in idleness and ignor-
auce, merely because their parents do not
appreciate the benefits of education or are
too dilatory to insist that their children
shall attend. Many othere there are who
are robbed of the instruction proffered
them by the State, because they are en-
ployed in mills, factories, mines, &c.
While necessity may demand that some OF
this be done, it is by no means true OF the
majority, and it is a bad thing for the
child, for the State and for the working
men. The child is deprived of instruction;
the State, OF an educated citizen; and the
wages of workingmen are affected by the
competition of child labor.
The. passage of bills formulated after
two now before the Legislature, one pre-
venting the employment of children under
twelve wears ofage in factories, &c, and the
other requiring children between the ages
of eight and fourteen to attend school I'M
less legally excused, would prove Of great
benefit in enhancing the school work OF
the State.

siderable discussion and a diversity of
opinion, motion was made this week be-
fore Judge Fleming to change the emu
The result is awaited with considerable
anxiety, rs the controversy involves $780,

ponents rest their motion are twelve afi-
davits, each Of which are substantially IN
these words:

poses and says that he has knowledge of
the pending of a suit in the Circuit Court
of said county TO set aside a certain
will purpOrting to have been made by
Cyrus Ross, deceased, many years ago in
the State of Kentucky: that Webb Ross,
one of the parties interested in said contest
touching the validity of said will is a non
y sident Of the State of West Virginia: that
Peter i. RICHTER, J. ID. Jarvis and 5. o..
kester, who are interested in impcaching
the validity of said paper are residents OF
the State of West Virginia; that the mat
tiers i'll controversy in said cause have been
the subject Of much discussion and talk
IN Harrison county, and ~,iepOncnt believes
that III the prcSDnt state of public opinion
the proponents of said Will cannot have q
fair trial before an impartial jury of the
issue in said ease. That dcponcnt believes
a hostile public opinion has been manu-
featured against said proponents anl that
persons summoned ~ jurors 10 attend said
court by aSsOciating and mingling with the
contestants Of said viii are prcjudiced and
biased in their favor before entering the
jury box; and that from the ~notOriety said
cause has gained in said county having
been twice tried therein, il will be almost
impossible TO obtain 4 jury imprcjudiced
and free from an opinion formed by having
heard the case frequently discussed and
tried, To hear and try the same fairly and
impartially; and deponunt believes that

right may be done, between all parties in

Similar alidavits had heretofore been

purpose Of changing the venue,
